From Tim Grey's DDQ:
"Adobe has launched the Windows version of their beta of Lightroom, a workflow application designed from the ground up for photographers. The beta for Macintosh has been out for some time, and now Windows users can also preview the features of this application. I've been very impressed with what I've seen so far, and expect great things in the final product. This is also a great opportunity for you to provide feedback to Adobe on the features you think are important. For more information, or to download the Windows version of the Lightroom beta, go here:

Malaysia Trip #2
Hi All, just returned from another trip to Malaysia. Here I am visiting the Snake Temple in Palau Penang and being "initiated" with a poisonous (probably de-venomed) pit viper. Picture by my good friend Teng Beng Soon.
I plan to return one more time this year. The people there are really friendly and the food is great. Give anyone a smile and you'll get a flashy grin in return.
